Bonnie Moriarty was sleeping when a noise woke her up, then her cat and a wild coyote entered her bedroom.

When Bonnie Moriarty heard her cat hiss in the middle of the night, she assumed her dog picked a fight with the feline. Moments later, the cat ran inside her bedroom — with a large animal trailing behind it.

At first, Moriarty assumed her dog was chasing the cat. But as she took a closer look, she realized it wasn't her pup after all: it was a coyote.

"I woke up and the cat and the coyote (ran) into my room. It was still dark," Moriarty, of Bixby, Oklahoma, told Fox 23.

Moriarty first heard what she described as a "cat fight" around 4 a.m. She flipped on the lights and located the creature, sitting in the corner of her room. Quickly, Moriarty grabbed a golf club for protection.

The Bixby cops, equipped with a catcher pole, surrounded the animal and placed the loop around its neck. They managed to pull the creature out of the bedroom and released it safely in a wooded area nearby.

Moriarty believes the coyote, enticed by her cat, managed to get through her back door.

"He ... lunged at the door and the door opened," she said.
